Starting point is 00:01:54 By the time this is put up, it's been. Me and the cast of Grey's Anatomy, they're in their doctor's scrubs. And me and my text speedo. Why would you be there with Grey's Anatomy? Because they're all reunion. Remember when? and me and my text. Why would you be there with Gray's Anatomy? That's a muscle history union. Yeah. You and the day you and Bates Motel and Gray's Anatomy.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Remember when? It's a crossover. Start demanding, like handsome Dr. Stewart is coming. Handsome Dr. Stewart is actually his name in the show. I just won't play by your rules. I'll save lives, but I will not put on anything, but this tuxedo. You're gonna get engaged with a, in a temporary romance with Dr. Gray,
Starting point is 00:02:29 but then you'll die tragically. But the, the titular Dr. Gray, I love Dr., I love Dr. Carynani. Killed by Dr. Anatomy. But the character is Dr. Anatomy, yeah. Yeah. That's how I would do that show. Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Just like how general hospital, if I ran, it would be about a military man whose last name was hospital. So welcome to the flop house. This is your all things entertainment weekly coverage. Now, for those of you listening, this episode will come out a couple of weeks after the entertainment weekly. Oh, we did record one that came out already. So, but for us, this is something that just happened.

And thank you very much to all of our fans over the years who is enthusiasm and excitement and word of mouth. And basically nudging the AV club to cover us more regularly in the comments section, I think I'll contribute to this. Yeah, I'll go down without you. All those fans who listen to us without a magazine telling them to.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, without those fans, we just be three lonely guys sitting in a room. Talking into unconnected microphones. Having just watched the worst movie yeah without the what without those fans we just be three lonely guys sitting in a room talking into unconnected microphones having just having just watched the worst movie Adam Sandler ever made yeah which brings us to the subject of tonight's uh... episode or today's i don't know you're listening to this that's my boy oh is it no what's the i don't have i'm childless though i'm so sorry no that was a decision like this

This was an Adam Sandler vehicle Adam Sandler joint. Yeah Damn, the fame has gone to your head. This was an Adam Sandler vehicle. Adam Sandler joint, yeah. Uh, but you know, he didn't direct it.
Starting point is 00:04:07 It's happy Madison production. He's bringing in some new blood. He's co-starring with young Andrew Sandberg. It's two guys whose initials are AS, who both have very Jewish faces and are comedians, and came off a saturday night live. Possible father and son duo. Well, the thing is, it's a great idea to pair the two of them in a movie because they do look like they could be family members. The bad idea was in making it this movie that they were paired up in.
Starting point is 00:04:30 So that if they ever do this collaboration again, people are going to think back and be like, oh, yeah, it's like that's my boy too, right? Yeah, it's a reunion of that movie. Yeah, that's my well in 10 years when the Oscars does the that's my boy reunion with all the cast like they did for Chicago. does that's my boy reunion with all the cast like they did for Chicago. Yep, and still still. And here is. I just there's no reason to reunite the cast of Chicago. We never see those guys. Come on.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We see him all the time. And also nobody even remembers that movie even the one best picture. Anyway, that's my boy had a big big all-star cast. Yeah, you got Adam Sandler, Rex Ryan, Susan Sarandon and one scene and her daughter in a couple scenes. Tony Orlando. Flop House previously covered actress, Lieten Meester.

So let's do the plot real quick, because it's a stupid movie and the plot is terrible. Although it takes two hours. This is a two, this is an hour and two hour one by the cast. This is a. This movie you, you're first, you're like, oh, okay, like a stupid, I'm saying the

Burn airplane airlines all over the place are angry that they can't show this movie on shorter flights. They don't, I mean, it's a hard R rated movie.

Speaking of giving you the very purr, you're the purvy God parent.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You're purvy Godfather. Yeah. Dan McCoy. It's decided to gift you. Like you're the guy who accidentally leaves a playboy magazine in behind the seat. Exantly on purpose. Yeah. I don't think that's an accident. There's people like the Johnny Applese to pour. Yeah. Johnny porn seat. There were some kind of pot on their head. I guess a lot of pictures. Johnny Apple see does seem to be wearing a pot on his head. I mean, a head. Wow. Wait, wait, a take down Johnny Apple see. No, you're the one who's the you're lack of Johnny Apple's seed knowledge. So that likes I don't I want to keep your instructions roast of American folklore. Hey, Paul Bunyan. What's with the name of your ox babe? Are you in love with her?
Starting point is 00:07:30 Anyhow spill what's yeah, we want to get a Thing with the other things. Oh, take us bill wrote a horse named widow maker Okay, another thing with another thing Okay, so the movie that's my boy we. We open in the year 1980, question mark. It's kind of like a, it's kind of like old 19th century novels where they say, oh, well, this happened in the year 18 dash because they don't want to tell you the year for whatever reason. And that's, that's the last point
Starting point is 00:07:58 that this is in any way literary. But being a fan of the Adam Sandler canon, I'm assuming it happens concurrently with the wedding singer. I have to assume I'm kind of surprised the wedding singer character didn't just walk through the back, background of one of the shots. But so we were in a middle school, I guess, there's three 13 year old boys where one of them is young Adam Sandler who looks to be maybe played by someone who's Puerto Rican. He looks very Latino for the young Adam Slammer. The lessons can check that. And he is, he hits on his teacher who's played by Susan's Raymond's daughter, what's her name? Eva Meary.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Eva Meary. And. I'm Meary. Yeah, you're saying it right. A Meary Baraka. Let's just say his teacher is played by a Meary Baraka. Okay. So the, he hits on her and she says, that's going to give you
Starting point is 00:08:43 detention. But then a detention Uh-oh turns out she's totally into him and they start having sex all over the place. Yeah. This is a movie based on statutory rape a goofy Adam Sadler comedy and the inciting incident is statutory rape But I mean and the kid and it's taken for granted that This is the most amazing thing in the world. The teacher goes to jail, but the kid becomes super famous. His name is Donnie Burger, and he just becomes a superstar.
Starting point is 00:09:12 He's on magazine covers, hanging out with famous stars. No, I want to object to this because there have been cases where teachers have had stacks with their students before. And the students become super famous. They're not super famous. They're all open to play. They're super famous. Phillips, see more Hoff play. So after a super film, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Yeah, Ashton Kutcher.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I didn't realize that that's how they got their start. Yeah, James Polk. F. Murray Abraham. But I was saying that this is like, this is like, hap-racula. Dracula. This is happening in the same universe as a roadhouse where there's a camera skill as a famous bouncer. And in this world where there's a famous bouncer and in this world there's
Starting point is 00:09:46 a famous statutory rapie. There's a lot, yeah, there's this weird, you were saying this weird genre of movie where people have become superstars for something that no one has ever become famous for doing and that's one of them. It's kind of like if you can imagine a movie about like a famous hitman, which I assume exists somewhere where it doesn't make any sense There's no reason for that to happen. I guess famous Bouncer in Roadhouses Yeah, but he's famous among people who go to Roadhouses. All right, they're gonna know who Dalton is which is most of the United States
Starting point is 00:10:16 And also he's famous for being the heir to the B Dalton bookseller's fortune and just giving up on that because of his love of bouncing Yeah, I walked away. That's why he's selling for Bouncing Dalton. For Bouncing Dalton. Booksellers. He founded that became a wealthy bookstore owner and then he got out at the height of the market. If he was stealing bookstore stores, he'd be down inside a business.
Starting point is 00:10:38 He walked away. But meanwhile, Dalton. And it'd forgotten what it was really about. The Bouncing. Dalton is having a great bouncing time. So what should I do instead of this? I should look at my first name, bouncing. Yeah, they named him after his grandfather,
Starting point is 00:10:52 Jedidi bouncing. Okay. The adventure of bouncing. So Adam Sandler's character, Dunnie Burger, now it's the modern time, and he is at the bottom of the barrel. He is an alcoholic basically. He's a total slime ball.
Starting point is 00:11:05 And he's gonna go to jail for tax evade. And he owes a lot of taxes as told to him by his accountant played by Jetscoach Rex Ryan. And the joke here is that he's a big fan of the patriots in this movie, Womwa. I don't care, I don't like sports. Anyway, moving on. So Adam Sandler decides he's gonna do the only thing
Starting point is 00:11:24 he can think of to get this money. He's going to go back on TV, but TV only wants him. If he can arrange a reunion with him, his estranged teacher lover and his estranged son who has changed his name in order to erase his burger heritage and is now a financially successful uptight, you know, kind of sticking the mud type guy. He's your egon spangler, but not a scientist, if you will. Right. And without the great hair, the weight doesn't think of the cartoon. He was blonde in the cartoon.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Meanwhile, Adam Sandler, his boy, the titular boy, is about to get married to late in meester. And he's played by Andy Samford. Well, I've also played late in meester of the roommate fame. And you know that she is going to turn out to be a bad choice for him because I guess she has some sense of propriety. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:12 She does. She's not like a drunk stripper who barfs all over the place. I care. And it's funny because the movie is setting up a very specific character arc. Adam Sandler's character is a slime ball. He re his son is cut off all contact with him. He owes all this money to the government. It's clear he's going to have to win people's love back
Starting point is 00:12:31 and get back in their good graces to earn his happiness. And to be fair, that is a small portion of the movie, but that's like the last 10% movie. Until you get to the last like seven minutes of the movie, it is Adam Sandler walks into a, does something terrible and everybody loves it. Like he's everybody's hero, he's the most popular guy in the world, and that would work as a running joke
Starting point is 00:12:52 if he wasn't like, I guess the hero of the movie, or even like if it hadn't been set up as Adam Sandler as to win back his son's love, you know? If it was that a movie about two, like let's say it's moved at two friends, one of whom is a good guy and the other is an asshole. And everybody loves the asshole and the good guy can't catch a break. Like that's a comedy plot.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah. But instead they have, they like go overboard and making people love out of San Diego. And then they have to go overboard making Andy Sandberg and his fiance uptight to justify this. So the movie is like lurching back and forth between. The movie becomes about how like a rock buttons bottom slime ball walks into this society wedding and teaches all the squares had a loosen up. And if he was like, grouch on marks,
Starting point is 00:13:33 Rodney Andrew Field in them. I mean, what you're basically talking about is the plot of every Mark's brothers movie. Yeah, but those guy like, grouch on marks, some start out as a slime ball. He's just kind of like a little slime ball. He wants to marry a woman for money. He's a dictator in one of them. And he's a shester lawyer. He's just kind of like a total slime ball. He wants to marry a woman for money. He's a dictator in one of them and he's a shester lawyer. He's always cheating people. He's a, he's more of a charming con man type. I feel like that's these a slime ball. He's a rock bottom slime ball. He never has a lot of money. Cheeto is
Starting point is 00:13:56 a remark and earring and a denim vest. And he's got Adam saying that. Cheeto or as he would call him. Cheeto is a flat out thief, always conning people, stealing their money, lazy. That's a pronounced cheeko, because he pays the chicks. If Harpo could talk, he'd be a total jerk, he's always running after girls, tearing their clothes off. He's a possible rapist.
Starting point is 00:14:16 He's constantly stealing silverware. I mean, but the problem I guess is that those guys are really funny, and the people they're up against are so incredibly snooty, but Adam Sandler walks into, like they have to keep upping the stakes of how shitty these rich people are. Yeah, that's what Adam Sandler does come off as a monster. Um, but anyway, he comes in and Andy Sandberg does not want to admit this is his father. So he says it's his best friend, Donnie.
Starting point is 00:14:41 And Donnie makes up a story that he saved Andy Sandbridge life and this is one of the few funny running gags Is he tells the story that genuinely made me laugh? This is there a couple there are like what like six jokes that genuinely made us laugh in the movie usually about a File mouth granny. No, they were not any of the foul mouth granny Price that foul mouth granny did not wrap it any point Because they did that the wedding singer with a non-file mouth granny and sounds like I burned that material That material was gold but I can't use it again and everyone saw it The he tells the story about how he saved he saved the Andy Sandbrook's character name is Todd He saved Todd's life by Todd dropped a burrito on a train track and then went down to get it and Adam Sandler saved him
Starting point is 00:15:19 When from getting hit by the train and everyone instantly believes this story and has questions for Todd, like why would you do that? Wouldn't you just buy another burrito? Yeah, why do you, wouldn't the burrito be dirty? Why didn't you just buy another burrito? And that was the one funny running gag was that everyone instantly buys this story
Starting point is 00:15:36 and has real questions for Todd about it. But otherwise, Donnie just does a lot of, like he'll walk into a room and say was up and everyone loves it. And he's like, hey, let's all go play baseball. And they spent like 17 days playing baseball. Just him shagging balls at people in the outfield shows them how to have a real bachelor party. Not the one that was playing where they'll go to a man's spa, but one where they go.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Which did look like a boring bachelor party. Yeah, sure. But instead they go to like his favorite, you know, dive strip club. And just love it's it's one of these movies We wrap up at about 10 p.m. I guess Talk about what's amazing. Let's let's pause for that because they go to a spa. They're there for at least let's say 40 minutes Minimum then it seems like two hours probably seems like a long time and then Donnie goes let me show show you a real strip club. They are real bifurs apart. They go to the strip club. There's a long montage of being in it. It's dark outside. They're doing shot after shot of tequila. You know, people are getting up on the stage and dancing with the strippers. And it's not like you can just do that right away. You've got to earn the trust of the place
Starting point is 00:16:39 over the course of at least an hour. Yeah. Before they let you get on stage. They're drinking. They get so drunk that they're like, Nick Sw, in this galvanting around, Nick Swartz is in this two playing Stewart point out basically just a more retarded version of Bill Murray's character from catty check. Yeah, with the moment, the end he's just dressed like Bill Murray's character from catty check. Complete with army helmet and everything. So much. One of those characters like, I kind of feel like maybe he's like Harvey in the RV, only Adam Sandler. Except that one of the other characters punches it. Yeah. In many ways I wish I could not see Nick Swardson. So they go to the best party. They're there for let's say minimum estimate two hours. Yeah. Then they're like, hey,
Starting point is 00:17:23 this part is not over yet. It really feels like four though. Yeah, it feels like four hours. Then they're like, hey, this part is not over yet. It really feels like four though. Yeah, it feels like four hours. Then they go, do they go bowling next? Is that? They go to skating rink. Oh, they go to skating rink. We're children are skating. And they're there for, let's say, 35 minutes, but at this point, who would let their child ice skate around vanilla ice and Todd Bridges? Oh, yeah, vanilla ice came with them. That's true. And they're there. So, like, are there at, is this an all night three AM ice skating rink? And then they go, can't open bowling.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Then they go, can't open bowling, because did we mention it's Boston? Hey, they're in Boston. So Adam Sandler has a terrible Boston accent with this little nicky voice rast. And it's a terrible voice. And it's bad enough that every other movie and television show is apparently set in Boston.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And we have to hear Boston accents all the time. Not even. They're controversial statement. It's entire, the entire town of Boston is going to come get you. And as I'm led to believe, they are a pugnacious one. They are pugnacious. And I'm going there in a couple weeks, so I'll be in trouble. But it's not even that. It's the same way that if every cop thriller, buddy comedy, family drama was set in Oxford,
Starting point is 00:18:24 Mississippi, I'd get tired of that accent if they were all set in like Oxford, Mississippi, Very studious part of Mississippi. Yeah, if they're all set in June, Alaska I'd get tired of the Alaska accent if they were all set in Beverly Hills like get tired of that et cetera I'm just tired of the Boston. What if there were a Beverly Hills Chihuahua now you're talking But the point is that they go to these family places that, you know, like in the middle of the night, it's got to be three or four eight. This is after their debauching of the strip club. It's painting a grim picture of Boston Nightlife.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Well, it's painting is children running wild, ice skating at two in the morning. The only other explanation is that in Boston the sun has been extinguished There's some curse put on the place to come by with the sun blocking machines Just like that couple of episodes when married with children went to England because there was that village where the they had been cursed To never see the sun Boston has apparently been cursed by one of Edo Niels ancestors to never have sunlight So they go to strip club at let's say, 11 a.m. And they go ice skating at lunchtime. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I'm amazed I remember the storyline for when Mary with children went to London. Little dumb things are remembered. So anyway, but that's the bachelor party. And there, you know what? Adam Sandler and his son are really, by the way, this is like an hour and 30 minutes into the movie that we just went through. It's very little plot. Adam Sandler and his son are really, by the way, this is like an hour and 30 minutes into the movie that we just went through.
Starting point is 00:19:46 It's very little plot. Adam Sandler has sex with an old lady. There's a lot of that kind of stuff. They make up, you know what, the relationship is coming together and Andy Cymbic says, you know what, I will go to jail and visit my mom because the mom, the teacher is still in jail. And Adam Sandler suddenly realizes, oh no.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I can't use him like this. I arranged with the TV crew. He's gonna hate me and you know what, that's unfair to him, he's my son. So he says, don't go, don't go. like this. I arranged with the TV crew. He's gonna hate me and you know what that's unfair to him. He's my son. So he says don't go don't go and he goes no I will go I will go and he goes and the TV cram. So that yeah that moment of character growth might be Ignored by the audience when they see even a I see you're an aiding on himself like I found and saying I'm a found This is also after this is also after
Starting point is 00:20:25 two fat people in their underpants have chased Andy Sanberg around the darken streets of Boston because he was looking like they're having a lot of fun because he rode his bike into their car while they're having sex in it which I want to hope is no more to tango and cash and the scene where their car chase interrupts a couple having sex in the car. And then a Russian guy comes out and says, Hey, I believe in Paris Stroika. Yeah, and it has no connection to any of them. Because it's the 80s. Yeah, it's the 90s.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It's the 90s. So there's been a lot of goofy jokes that we skipped over. We haven't mentioned any about, we haven't, oh, and we should mention that, Andy Sandberg's fiancee's sponsored brother who's a marine and does a lot of like threatening and he samberg and wrestling him and adam samler introduces his superpower which is that he can knock anyone out
Starting point is 00:21:14 by hitting him hitting them in the back of the head of the bottle is always got a beer on the marine is trying to beat up and he samberg and he hits him with the bottle uh... for some reason and he's samberg gets in a fist fight with a priest played by James Khan and Adam Sandler hits him in the back of the head with a bottle. James Khan was an amazing Irish accent. It's kind of you're watching it and you just wonder why James Khan is in it. But I think maybe he thought this he didn't know what Adam Sandler was.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He thought this was the next bottle rocket. Yeah. He gave a little he gave a little bit of help to a young man named west Anderson and the wilson brothers maybe he'll help out this adam sandler and this and your sandberger or as you said in the uh... in the total recall episode when i was amazed that bill night was in the movie they probably got to be in the movie by paying him money that was probably it they said james con would you like money to buy things and he said i would like
Starting point is 00:22:02 that tell me what i would have to do to do it we should do scenes and that I'm saying the movie, he said, well, this take less than 72 hours. Yes, it will, James Con. Okay, then I will. How much money are you paying me? What does it take? On Martha's finger, it sounds good.
Starting point is 00:22:18 It's the same way that they got Tony Orlando in this movie. So who needs an agent in this day and age? You just do it yourself. Just call them up and you offer them the money. Hey, we're all freelance entrepreneurs. We're selling our brand. That's the 21st century. You don't have a career. You're a brand. You got to push it. And James Gunn is pushing the James Con brands to get all these juicy, batland priest roles. When they do a remake of the fighting 69th, the Jimmy Cagney, James Conn will
Starting point is 00:22:43 be ready for it. Yeah. So what, what are we up to? I don't even know. So they are, so he goes to the prison. They go, he goes to the prison, the TV crew ambushes him and he says, you used me. And Adam Sandler says, no, it wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. And he's saying, Morgan Adam Sandler getting to an argument. It's that moment where the two characters who have become friends part ways until they
Starting point is 00:23:04 reconnect. I real. This moment was most hit home for me become friends part ways until they reconnect. Yep. I real. By the way, this moment was most hit home for me when I saw the movie Shrek and Shrek and the donkey had an argument and walked away from each other and was like, that was totally unnecessary. It's just because the plot needs them to do that right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:18 You're saying, uh, no, I just want to backtrack a moment and no filler and Shrek. No, the running around for no reason see and set to repute my reputation. Totally not filler. I just wanted to point out that as you may have guessed, the older Eva, Eva Murie was played by real life Eva, a murie mother, Susan Sarandon. That's probably how she's going to age, right? That's exactly what I look exactly like my dad looked at 31. I assume Dan looks like his dad at,
Starting point is 00:23:48 how he 57, how old are you? I am very cool. And Stuart is totally youthful. And they broke the mold and they created Stuart. So he looks like nobody except maybe Seth Rogen a little bit. I cooff human pineal gland fluid like the leach woman every day bathed in the blood of virgins. Yeah, like lady battery.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So. So do you think that because she was named lady battery, she thought herself, I gotta have some sort of back related stick. I gotta figure this out. It's like bounce or Dalton. I mean, she lived in a country where that spoke English, so she didn't though.
Starting point is 00:24:22 All right. Maybe she did. And the blood splits splits pretty easy to come across, right? Like water'd be boring. Especially back then. Yeah. Well, what you always want to say, I want to get out of a bath feeling stickier than when I walked into it. And then what?
Starting point is 00:24:36 And that's what a blood bath does for you. You get nice and sticky and crusty. And then you just sell that shit to Dracula. Boom. Yeah, you're making money left and right. I got clean and paid. Thanks, easy pawn. And I got my bracelet back. The joke for anyone who rides the subway in New York sees the easy pawn ads. So what a little oh, so anyway, where were we? Oh, they break up. They're estranged. They're estranged from each other again.
Starting point is 00:25:06 But that's when the soundtrack goes from Van Halen to the replacement. Yeah, there's a lot of 80s hits in the movie. Yeah, the soundtrack's a pretty good soundtrack. I'll say that. They play 15 seconds worth of Whiplash by Metallica. So that was OK with me. They play most of, in the limelight,
Starting point is 00:25:23 right? Or is it just called limelight? Limelight. Look, I'm not a rush fan. OK. And hey, wait, is the limelight, right? Or is it just called limelight? Limelight. Look, I'm not a rush fan. Okay. And, hey, wait, is hot for teacher in this movie? I don't think it is, which is weird. Strangely weird, right?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Since the movie was based on that song. But anyway, oh, I was gonna say that Susan's Brandon now kinda has the lock on playing the older versions of teachers who had sex with their students since she didn't 30 rock too. Where she was due to Friedlander's former teacher who got it a jail and reconnected with him, because they had sex when he was a student.
Starting point is 00:25:52 So I guess this is how she wants her career to go. I think it's just like Hollywood needs to find another sexy older lady. A Helen Marin, I guess. But I mean, Susan Sran and Hazey extremely well, beautiful woman. I mean, there's websites devoted to just that. I mean, there are hardworking extremely well-milled beautiful woman. I mean there's websites to vote it's just that I mean there are hardworking milk hunters tracking these milks down
Starting point is 00:26:09 Tagging them and releasing them into the wild so we can track their migration patterns. They tag them. Toss them in their bang bus The problem really is the problem is unlicensed milk hunters who hunt looking for bush meat to feed their tries and Milk milk numbers are addressed. They claim that it's, that they need to thin the milk for the good of the herd, but that is wrong. Yeah. And the HWCS, the Hot Wife Conservation Society, asked for your donations so that they can,
Starting point is 00:26:38 they need guards, they need fences. These refugees for milfs are being devastated. Basically, malls and, and I got in cash crop farming and beef grazing has caused them to cut down the rainforests Which are the milfs natural habitat the destruction of the wetlands Mill many milfs have successfully adapted to living in the suburbs, but not enough But the point is won't you be aware of the problem the point is that in Sarah McLaughlin song For mother I'm Sandler needs to figure out a way to regain his son's trust about this movie
Starting point is 00:27:13 Yeah, well, we'll finish up so what he does is he overhears his son's fiance Talking to someone on the phone. He thinks she's cheating on him He confronts her at the rehearsal dinner. She says it was something else entirely now He looks like even more of a jerk. He decides he's gonna make it up to her and and win her over by bringing her ice cream So he just brings two ice cream cones vanilla to the size cream to her hotel The ice cream doesn't melt at all so steward I think it was who pointed out that it probably just matched between So long the best he have been walking with that ice cream?
Starting point is 00:27:46 I don't know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I feel like, wins over the audience. If you were on the fence about that, it's my boy. You thought it was maybe a little too crass. Then the scene where Adam Sandler walks in on it. This is the boy where you've gotten up out of your chair, walked about 10 steps toward the exit. And then you turn over the shoulder. And you say, all right, that's my boy. You go in less chance. Turns out Andy Sandbrook's fiance is having an affair with her brother. That's right. She's routinely having sex with her brother.
Starting point is 00:28:25 This is when you go, you shake your head and go, not this time, that's my boy, and you walk out the door. Oh, I just lay him at your side. I thought that was when you said, God damn, that's my boy, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Bravo. You slow clap, you slow clap, the incest, third act reveal. I don't think so. You might not like it, but he respects where the movie went. Yeah. I don't like you, but I respect you. No wait, I don't respect you.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I don't like you and I don't respect you. So Adam Sandler comes back to the wedding. He tries to get there for some, oh, sheep gives him a $50,000 check to stay quiet, but then he says, no, I can't do it. Even though this is gonna keep me out of jail, it's the money I need to pay my back taxes that I owe. I'm gonna be good by my son He goes to the wedding with vanilla ice in tow Their car hits like sand or something. I don't know they get stuck in the desert
Starting point is 00:29:16 They have to get out and run the last mile They get thrown a beach they get to the wedding and they reveal all and they save the day and any Sam but everyone shames late me. Everyone you like you start to kind of feel bad for that. Yeah I mean she is having sex with her brother but like everyone turns on him so quickly. And this is a movie that has champion statutory rape so consensual incest is a weird thing to toe hold the line at like wait a minute it's okay for a grown-up to have sex with a child It is not okay for two adults to have sex with each other if they're related. It's probably I don't think I don't think
Starting point is 00:29:51 I don't think just to be clear. I don't think either of those things is okay. Oh, you're endorsing both I'm not endorsing either of them But it seems weird for the movie to come down on the side of the one that could cause emotional trauma and Damage whereas the other one is... Probably the cause of emotional trauma. I mean, like Adam Sandler's not never gotten over it, and Andy Sandberg had a terrible childhood because of it. It's also implied that Andy Sandberg and Adam Sandler are both math geniuses.
Starting point is 00:30:17 You know, thing that you think this would in some way help them solve the problem of being of owing money or whatever. But no, it's just the thing that they have that their math geniuses and calculate any number in their head. Part of why the teacher was attracted to him was his ability of math. And lately since that. Well, she's like the professor X of statutory rape. She saw the special gift hidden inside this child. And I'm she said I'm gonna fuck that out of them. I guess so. Instead of taking her to also bald. And she was in a floating gold wheelchair. A hover chair. She's also friends with Magneto before a falling out. Yep. But so, you
Starting point is 00:30:56 know, everything has been fixed between them now. They're related to this great. Adam Sandler's gonna find new love with a bartender at the strip club. Oh, you mean Andy Sandberg is. Oh, Andy Sandberg's gonna find new love with a bartender at the strip club and any same burgers and he's saying bros to find new love with a bartender strip club and and he adam sanler says you know what i will go to jail i'll be out in three years that's when Susan sranin is going to get out of jail and we can reconnect and there's something about that moment
Starting point is 00:31:16 that i was like well at least are treating it like a real like they're going to try to build a relationship i don't know but then uh-oh we forgot to mention that in the first three no no, the first 10 minutes of the movie. One of the other few good jokes in the movie. Adam Sandler has decided to bet some money that $100, $20, $20. That $20. On a fat guy to win the Boston Marathon
Starting point is 00:31:36 at 8,000-a-one odds. In the last two minutes of the movie. That might solve his $50,000 problem. With a lot to leftover to spare. And the last five minutes of the movie on television they realize the fat guy is winning the marathon and they watch him struggle to the finish line and beat all the ethnocute for good fine this is that guy comes back in a fat ex machina
Starting point is 00:31:59 the solve all the problems yeah and they win and now he's got the money to stay at a jail. And it is consequences averted. And it hints at a much better movie about Adam Sandler coaching a fat guy to get him to win the Boston marathon, but that didn't happen. You know, I love movies where the entirety movie. Okay, right. I like it when a movie seems like the entire movie is just built around one final joke, lost boys, cabin fever, etc. But this- Ministry of fear.
Starting point is 00:32:29 But in this case, it feels like they had the joke and then they're like, let's melt it for another five to ten minutes. Yeah, they really, like Dan mentioned, they should have just had someone walk in with a big check and be like, hey, that fat guy won! We did it! Because then it becomes a joke about how throw away that was. Like, we just like, we have just fucked you movie watcher by revealing how arbitrary anything that happens in this movie is. And then that's funny. But instead, they turn it into a like, is he gonna make it? Is he gonna finish the race about a character who's been, we've literally only seen a still photo of,
Starting point is 00:33:04 one time earlier in the movie. We have no emotional feeling for this guy and I expect a chair. It's a fire to start playing. I'm surprised that they sent all so much money on the other music rights for this movie that they couldn't afford that because it can toss the money to the angelus. The budget of this movie was $70 million which is amazing. Like wasn't there a thing online about people theorizing that Adam Sandler movies are some sort of like money laundering operation or like a tax shelter? I think that about the room.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Maybe tax shelter. I mean, Adam Sandler's movie is for the most part seem to be based around where he can vacation during the shooting of the movie, like Hawaii and just go with it, a cruise ship in Jack and Jill, just wherever they went and grownups. When that was at like Jack and Jill, it was like, it was like,
Starting point is 00:33:45 and also like a $70 million proposition, but that movie had so much product placement and like the whole thing turned on a Dunkin' Donuts ad-re-tied. That's a movie that you have to do it, at least there's special effects in that movie for scenes that- Yeah, fat suit.
Starting point is 00:34:00 No, no, but Adam Sandler has- Are you saying the effects wasn't that special? Yeah, I've seen special effects were far from special and the photography was far from Sinna. The writing was far from screen and theography was far from Corey. I'm Jean Charlotte from beyond the grave. Is he still alive? Well, wherever you are, I hope you're doing great, Jean.
Starting point is 00:34:31 But this is one of those movies that is like, you could almost be okay with it if it was like, just a vulgar throwaway comedy. Like it's not, there are a couple funny jokes in it over a two hour running time. But it's mostly super unfunny and super gross, but like, then there are those moments where you're supposed to feel for the characters and it's like, no, movie, you haven't, you haven't earned that. No movie, this isn't the type of movie you are. You forgot which movie you are.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Like, maybe like the producers can do that, but the producers is a far better movie. Be like kind of a vulgar comedy where you feel for the characters a little bit. But this is not really. The producer never gets as like mockish as this. I mean, the fact that there's like a father son be like kind of a vulgar comedy where you feel for the characters a little bit. But this is not very good. But this is like mockish as this. I mean, the fact that there's like a bothersome or like a shit. It doesn't get as mockish or like a shit. It's just like, does the producers feature a character
Starting point is 00:35:14 who can whip out a bottle of beer from any part of his body at any point? And then has sex with a granny. But one of the heroes is a slime ball who has sex with granny. Oh, okay. Zero mustell. So basically what I'm has sex with granny's okay zero must tell So basically what I'm saying is the late great zero must the producers meets the marks brothers is that's my boy
Starting point is 00:35:34 That's my boy is like groucho plus Mel Brooks My heart is hurt Adam Sandler is them if groucho marks and zero must tell had a child He'd be Adam Sandler says they're boys says Dan McCoy of Dan McCoy's movie. I've never seen him. He's the whole thing to you, sir. Also, the phrase, that's my boy's in the movie a couple times. Which is just stupid. The only way that I wish they'd put a counter up in the corner of the screen,
Starting point is 00:36:00 every time the phrase, that's my boy was said. That would be amazing. It's when I guess I was saying, I wish this movie was either sillier and dumber or was an actual movie about a father and a son trying to connect. And longer, right? You said you'd like it to be longer.
Starting point is 00:36:14 I thought at an hour and 54 minutes, they'd only scraped the surface of what was hidden here. If I wish this was like, the clock or like, or Berlin Alexander Platz, give me, I want to spend a full day without sleeping watching this. Well, that brings us, I think, into our next segment, which is final judgments on this movie, final judgments, judgment, those final, final judgments, we have all is playing
Starting point is 00:36:39 a right now in your ears. So is this a joke? Now, right now in your ears. So is this a joke now? Where we answer the question is this a good bad movie a bad bad movie or a movie we kind of liked Stewart what do you have to say about that? This was a movie I thought was a bad bad movie. I tricked you there. Nope. I don't think anyone is just too long. It isn't it's not suspended. No, it's too long. It isn't, it's not even funny enough. And it's a movie where the model relationship in the movie is between a teacher and her student, like the model romantic relationship.
Starting point is 00:37:17 But if the movie had had like, there could be a really good movie about that. There may be, and I'm just not thinking about the moment, but this is not it. You know, there, it makes me more courageous and really like pushing the offensive. Well, there are a lot of scenes in this movie where like if John Waters had done them, yeah, they may have, he may have pulled them off because like, he would have gone super far and he would have not been, I don't know, he would have been like shocking you, but never being like, get it, get it, get it, eh, shocking, right?
Starting point is 00:37:46 If you're gonna go far with him, you have to go all the way. And to have that weird moral turn where it's like, rape, yes, incest, no, Adam Sandler says, that's where the line gets drawn. Like, unless the joke is that how hypocritical this slime ball is, but it's not. And it's just another twist on like the,
Starting point is 00:38:02 the stuck up girlfriend or stuck up wife character. Like having something wrong with her and having something like secret that's like, oh, you're gross. Well, because in a lot of these movies, it's like, if the girl doesn't like her husband being a bro, that's her problem, which is horrible. But this one, it's not even being a bro. Being a bro is horrible. Basically.
Starting point is 00:38:22 But in this one, it's not even that she, like, the behavior that is acceptable for the movie is so outlandish that she has to be equally outlandishly uptight and have this crazy skeleton. Yeah, I haven't noticed that necessarily, but you're right. There is like this weird like streak of misogyny and these type of movies where like the uptight girl who like seems like she's actually just rational.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Like they have to be like, no, she's evil. Yeah, there needs to be something that's... And we're gonna make her lick still wet jizm off of her wedding dress. I forgot about that. Well, okay, when there's that, she has a $12,000 wedding dress, and Annie Sanbergett, after a night of debauchery,
Starting point is 00:38:58 doesn't look like it's worth 12,000. He vomits and ejaculates on it off camera, thankfully. And the next morning she goes, oh, you threw up on my dress, and there's something else sticky on it. Still sticky. Smells it, and then. Touches it, smells it.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Licks it. Oh, it's jizz. It's like one, how did, why, how did she not realize to that moment what it was? But also, why do you have to make? She thought he'd be making a sandwich with mayonnaise or something. And then he vomited. It makes a lot of sense. The female lead of your movie, to make she thought he'd have to make a sandwich with mayonnaise or something. Why do you make that?
Starting point is 00:39:25 And then he vomited. Why do you make the female lead of your movie lick the jizz off a vomit and crusted dress? Like again, maybe John Waters could have done it because in his movie, she would have enjoyed it. But in this, it's a it's a demeaning thing. And these movies are totally like, I mean, the undercurrent of all of them is demeaning women. There's a minor undercurrent in this about demeaning ethnic ethnic groups.
Starting point is 00:39:45 There's like the goofy Asian butler and who hates his white bosses and the goofy black African priest to show some of the end. Yes, the last names are landed. And at the end they make a big thing out of the fat guy beating Ethiopian runners in a race. I know Ethiopians have been a lot of races, but they're like, but they're going like, yeah, you beat those Ethiopians. Like it's this weird undercurrent racism. No, what they're saying. But it's like not just a gross vulgar comedy.
Starting point is 00:40:15 It's a gross vulgar comedy that hates women unless they are strippers who love to get drunk and hates anyone who's not white, basically, unless you're a stripper who loves to get drunk. So that's a good, good movie from that. I'm saying, I'm saying, run, don't walk to your television. Yeah. I'm saying it was a very bad movie. I'll say it's a bad, bad movie that like every 18 minutes showed me a flash of a movie I would embarrassingly
Starting point is 00:40:39 kind of like, but there were not enough of those flashes to make it. There were a lot of funny people apparently did script rewrites on this uncredited. And you can tell because there's like a joke here or there that's totally unrelated to the rest of the movie, that's funny. Like maybe once every 18 minutes, yeah. But the rest, the underpinnings of the movie is bad. And it's like, you know, I have to say, like, I, you know, what are you
Starting point is 00:41:02 going to do? Hey, maybe I don't like comedy, but I didn't find this one funny. Well, that's the other thing, like. Except that it was like, the producers meets the March Brothers. I got to say that as someone who is involved in the comedy world, like it always brings me no joy to like make fun of like a comedy.
Starting point is 00:41:18 No, because you want to laugh. Yeah. And watching a bad comedy is a less pleasant experience than watching a bad drama. Like, we always wanna see funny things be good. Yeah, and then. I'm is a less pleasant experience and watching a bad drama like we always want to see funny things Yeah, and I'm a credited comedian here, God I think I agree with you finish saying what you're saying before you
Starting point is 00:41:33 Well equally funny quote-quote comedian quotes do are Wellington I just want to say it like some reviews together Most of the people involved in this movie have done like funny things in the past and I hope to do funny things in the future But it just didn't work for me. I mean I was as I thought Adam Sandler was as funny as anybody when I was like 13 years old And I and but I think even the 13 year old me watching this movie would not have enjoyed it, you know Funny people make missteps Dan speaking of entertainment. We just unfortunate they caught this on camera and then sold it as a movie steps, Dan. Speaking of entertainment, we just unfortunate they caught this on camera and then sold it as a movie. I can't see like this was something they just did for fun in their spare time. Yeah, it's fun footage, right?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Before, yeah. Before we get on that. I was going to say bad, bad movie officially. Before we get on to the next segment, I do want to briefly say something about, uh, before we get on the entertainment weekly blurb, uh, I realized that it said that, uh, this podcast comes out weekly, entertainment weekly. They must have gotten us confused with their own entertainment periodical, which is weekly in the title.
Starting point is 00:42:29 For new listeners, this is actually a bi-monthly podcast. And I have to say that that was my own fault that they sent something to me for fact-checking, but in most of the cases, they broke it down like one fact per question. And then in one of the questions, it was like, is it fair to say that every week, three comedians break apart a bad movie? And I focused on the description of the podcast
Starting point is 00:42:52 rather than the every week part. So that was on me. But this is actually a bi-monthly podcast. We do it roughly once every two weeks. Actually, we've been keeping a schedule really nicely for the, for the, there were years when we would do it very infrequently Compared to now, but we kept a good schedule Mm-hmm. We've slowly become more professional over and frankly with all those podcasts out there to listen to Isn't it a relief to have one that doesn't come out take a little break once a week or multiple times a week? Make it a treat when it comes. Yeah, you know Let's make them wait for it make them beg for it
Starting point is 00:43:21 Mm-hmm. I go up in microwave, throwing some go-girt. Why would you put some side sandwiches? No. So the plan is to have the go-girt explode onto the suicide sandwich. Let's do it well, he's in plastic. It's a suicide sandwich with go-girt explosion side car. Before we also get on to the letter segment. You mean get on to the letter segment.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I also wanted to throw a quick plug to our friends over at the body and mod podcast one half of whom is cassiniya yorosh who uh... is part of i love bad movies that sponsors are live movie uh... bad movie night shows next one june eight uh... yeah so if you want to listen to a serious podcast but there's also it is also funny at times but it is a serious discussion of movies not always bad uh... then bony and mod is a very good one yeah
Starting point is 00:44:12 with a slight uh... slight women's been i would say yes and they're not a lot of podcasts about film that uh... feature female hosts and there may be i don't know just a bunch of loud jerks yet about boob's Does that's us? High five. So, and our friends over at All Things Comedy,
Starting point is 00:44:30 a home of comedy and podcast. We're also part of the All Things Comedy Network. If you're just picking up this podcast off the Entertainment Weekly recommendation, take a spin over to AllThingsComedy.com and take a look at the other podcasts, a lot of great ones that you'll enjoy. So, what you'll enjoy ours the most.
Starting point is 00:44:46 It's time to answer some of your letters from the Flop House Movie Mailbag. Special song for the Flop House Movie Mailbag. Post entertainment weekly blurb song. If you're just coming to the show, if you're a new listener, listen up now, because I do songs before the letters Sometimes they're long sometimes they're better But their songs for the letters letters for the flop as from you Maybe if you sent one after you read about it or tell me we think about us
Starting point is 00:45:17 Thank you entertainment weekly for see tired out Listener bomb that we got from being featured in a national magazine has now been erased. What about the big finish for my song? No, I was gonna scat for five minutes. Oh, it was black. Letter time. So this letter is titled future Mr. Skin competitor sites from Matthew last name with held. Let's go. He said Matthew Lesco. it's got to be. Hello, Flopperinos. I know that Dan has a very entrenched relationship with the fine folks over at Mr. Skin, not true, but...
Starting point is 00:45:52 Please, Mr. Skin lives in Florida. Call me Roger Skin. But have any of the floppers ever thought about adapting the basic service of Mr. Skin to other aspects of film? For instance. Like violence? For instance, my friend would like a website that would show every instance in a school oriented movie
Starting point is 00:46:09 with the bullies lackey pushes the bully away to embrace the hero i would probably better would be when the bully at the end pushes the lackey away when he's trying to comfort him that's a solid move they know they do it better off dead and uh... isn't is that having a cry to kid or am I not in karate kid? Yes. Well, the thing is in the karate kid, the bad he pushes a he doesn't push away, but he leaves the co-brookai
Starting point is 00:46:31 member. And the one of the things I love about karate kid actually is that his main opponent like turns on a dime and is like when when Ralph Matcha beats him, he goes, Hey, you're a good guy. And he actually takes the trophy out of the hand of the ref and hands it to Ralph Macho. And it's such a great moment of like, you know what? You're a good guy and he actually takes the trophy out of the hand of the ref and hands it to Ralph Macho And it's such a great moment of like, you know what? You're a good karate guy. I like you like it's you can imagine real friendship forming between them
Starting point is 00:46:53 You have to go to what Okinawa and leave that friendship behind. Yeah, and they die on the beaches. Yeah, they were just soaking up bullets or our brave boys Good, could retain could end that war.'re mr. Remembering Karate get part two Part two is a flashback to the Bell of Okinawa, right? But he goes on to say I would probably be one of the first subscribers to a website that could tell me the exact moment in every movie Where a stuntman covered in fire walks like a zombie out of an explosion pretty great? I think I remember Stuart mentioning that his favorite part of the movie is when a character makes a basket and then gives himself a fist pump while saying yes I'm sure the other hosts have ideas just doesn't have to just be a basket I claim only a quarter of all future profits derived from the sites you guys come up with flop secretly
Starting point is 00:47:35 Matthew last name Yeah, I think that's a good idea we could do like when somebody pumps his fist and says yes when you can do like when somebody pumps his fist and says yes, when movies where someone looks at a check and goes home, like fancy food arrives and it's a really small portion. Sure. At times when the girl from Epinema is playing in an elevator, or when someone's walking in a bathing suit past a pool, or anytime a famous actress gets naked in a movie. Now that's the original. Yeah, and we could, we could classify it by what kind of nudity you see. No, I think that you guys have forgotten. I think this is a, we could call it Mr. nude. Okay. When I said, when I said violence earlier, as I could see, I could see a site called
Starting point is 00:48:19 like Mr. Bullets or something where it's like in action movies when the, when the action scenes take place. So you don't have to sit through all of like, you know, a double team or something where it's like in action movies when the action scenes take place. So you don't have to sit through all of like, you know, a double team or something like that. For people who like action without any sort of emotional context whatsoever. Yeah, although I guess then you can just watch the raid redemption.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Which gives you most of your crazy. Minimal emotions. They're brothers, dude. They are spoiler alert. That doesn't really have much bearing on the constant kick fighting. You can see it in their fighting styles, Elliot. I actually I would like a service for that for movies that are not musicals, but have a musical number in it so that I can skip that part.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I would like one that told me whenever someone saw something hot and the soundtrack starts going and they put their and they push their sunglasses down like this to get a better look. That's good. Oh, you know what? A changing room montage would be a nice thing. Just movies that that tells you where the movie has a changing room montage where someone walks out and an outfit and someone else shakes their head and they go back in, they walk on a different outfit and they nod their head yes. This would be harder, but anytime there's a movie
Starting point is 00:49:26 where there's a racist character who is later reformed and decides they respect the object of his racism. Well, anytime a real estate developer gets pushed into a pool at the end of a movie or a bully could be. But every time they use the word and in a movie, just give me the time code, every movie. So our fans get on with all of Mr. Conjunction. Anyone good at web design?
Starting point is 00:49:49 Just throw those up on the internet. Yeah, and we'll do them not. We have jobs. No, I'm telling my fans to do it. Fans can do it, sure. The fans are great. We've got a lot of great fans around. So for new listeners, you might want to catch up, research your flop house on the
Starting point is 00:50:01 flop house Wiki, which will probably baffle you more than enlighten you. And there's also the flop house recommend site that tells you what movies we recommended in the past, both set up by fans, and they've done a great job with them. So this letter is titled, Dan's the Funniest One, Jerks. So did you write this? And it's from Moses.
Starting point is 00:50:18 It's from Dan, something last name with us. It's from Mr. Mixle, Pitalic, Care of Backwards World. He says, I've been a regular listener for a few months now and enjoyed the show immensely. However, I take issue with the characterization of Dan as the boring one or the Leonardo of the group. The mournful sign and exasperation aimed at the podcast chaotic breakdown is comedy gold.
Starting point is 00:50:41 It makes the show really. He's a modern day Bob Newhart as seen in the Bob Newhart show or Bob Newhart in Newhart or Bob Newhart in Elf. It's genius. Go ahead and listen to older episodes. The laughs are provided by McCoy as if he were a laugh fairy sprinkling joy on us all. Now that I've all but guaranteed this letter gets read on the podcast. Yep. I was wondering which 2013 films you anticipate watching for the show. Personally I fully expect Hansel and Gretel which hunters to appear sometime this year, probably. Along with GI Joe retaliation perhaps.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Maybe. So, oh, P.S. this letter was written under the assumption that dance character is an intentional portrayal of the typical vanilla leader with a personality so devoid of emotion and humor that it makes a cartoon, a carton of milk look hilarious by comparison if this is not the case I'm so sorry So I don't like the end of that I like the end of it. It's like a twist like an M night shaman on letter He was a monster the whole time Boring monster oh
Starting point is 00:51:39 Dan I mean it's hard to know ahead of time what the like that Nicholas Sparks movie that people on the Flophouse Facebook page were mentioning. Yeah, that's a definite. I'm trying to think what like really stupid-looking movies are coming out. But I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Do you do anything of any? Oh, there's one though. I can't remember. I'm terrible, though.
Starting point is 00:52:01 For a while, I felt like the call might be one of those, but then I hear it's not so bad. I know that there are movies that we are in consideration now to watch in the future that weren't future movies coming out. For instance, hold on to your hats because I believe a certain gentleman whose name starts with Nicholas and ends with Cage might be returning and we might watch Nicholas Cage install in. Oh, yeah. The new me Nicholas Cage, as it says in the trailer. Yeah, if you haven't seen the trailer for stolen, which is like taken, but with Nicholas Cage and much less of a budget and also he's a bank robber.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Yeah, the just like in taken, where Liam Neeson plays that famous bank robber. Yeah, he plays, uh, Clyde Bear. Because all the money is taken by him and the, and the, and the poster was like a Jack Davis drawing of, of a caricature of Liam Neeson with a big sack of money, and the money's flying out as he runs and all the other characters in the movie are running behind him, shaking their fists.
Starting point is 00:53:02 But the official, try to stop him, but the money's already took her the official trailer for this movie an actual movie starting starring big Hollywood star Nicholas cage and our favorite and our favorite ever yeah our favorite actor ever in history ends with the voiceover guy uh... trumpeting the fact that this movie stars Nicholas cage and it's we i think we've talked about this before, maybe, but it's like someone walked in the room while he was doing it.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And they were like, great, one take done. We're out. I think I can do a better. We only booked this V.O. booth for 45 seconds. I think I said Nicholas Cain. We're on Golden Time people. All right. So are there any other letters, Dan?
Starting point is 00:53:38 What about movie 43? We had to watch that, right? Oh, God. I haven't gotten him. Oh, don't even suggest. It's on you ruined my whole day. I finally had that. That's my boy behind me. Never get to watch it again. Suddenly movie 43 This, yeah, we should move ahead. I just said we we. We should move ahead because we're running a little long. Yeah, short letters that don't involve cranks boobs like last episode. Trying to find a short letter, but I don't have one because that was horrifying at the
Starting point is 00:54:18 ready. I'll read this one instead though. This is a title love letter. It's from Matt last name withheld. Let's go. He says, gentlemen, the recent letter from your grandma hating fan who received not one. Oh, that was a while ago. But two copies of the love guru got me thinking, what a grandma. What if grandma thought she was getting
Starting point is 00:54:40 me love guru sequel the second time around? And what would that entail? Would lesser character John Oliver, aka Dick Pants pants take over mic Myers role in the sequel? I'll return Steve Carell and Evan Almighty having not actually seen the love guru. There are only so many plot questions I can ask. So more importantly, what would they call it? They'd have to call it the love to rule right? There really isn't much more stupid name for a sequel to such a stupid movie, but why stop there? Why limit ourselves to one delightful British superstar mash him up when we can have love
Starting point is 00:55:11 act to Ali and to love it. Love act to all three. Third movie. Second one act to all three. That's a third. It's like it in third ratio back. It's like back to the futures. Oh, it says to be continued.
Starting point is 00:55:28 So this, so they're slowly over sequels. The love actually name is just being replaced by numbers. Yeah. Throw in the direction DVD follow up and you've got a love, quadrilogy. Of course, then five act tool three. See also. Number six, they bring it back to its roots and it's just love actual. No comma. See also New York. So number six they bring it back to its roots and it's just love actual
Starting point is 00:55:53 See also New York I love to and the toad for love and after 20 and after 29 sequential genie McCarthy films we could finally have 30 love Which would not be love oh dirty love movie with the period in the grocery store. I don't remember that scene I didn't have 30 love which would not be a tennis movie for some reason My story would be my tenant later we'd have 40 love be like the Michael apted up movies Michael Hanukkah's an Oscar frontrunner for his film a more but does it leave audiences wanting a more or even a four Obviously, there'd be a third in there somewhere, so we just call it a more three season of the witch So I guess of course we would my real question is what sequels would you love to see Matt?
Starting point is 00:56:34 This is from Matt Carmen editor of I love bad TV. I detected Matt Carmen's Matt Carmen I detected your foul instinct when I stepped up to board the space station. Yeah. So, uh, yeah. He doesn't smell bad. The other editor of I love bad movies along with the aforementioned Cassena of Bonnie and Maud. Yeah. Good folks.
Starting point is 00:56:55 And he's trying to pimp us into making up puns that I'm almost noticed. Well, I'll just tell you the sequels I want to look for ones I've already mentioned on the show before. They would be crossover sequels. For instance, Rocky 7, Rambo 5, starting Sylvester Sloan as both characters, turns other brothers, and a short circuit 3, Terminator 6. I count the Terminator TV series as the fifth Terminator movie. And Robocop.5, right? Point 5, so it's a prequel. Yeah, it's kind of, it's like half prequel, but he's in the kitchen. What if it was, okay, it's a Robocop Terminator short circuit.
Starting point is 00:57:31 And what was that movie about the little kid who was a robot? Not the show, small wonder, but she's in there check. No, not Jack, it was a kid who had aging disease. I'm Robocop. No, what was it called? And I can't remember, it was a little boy who turned out as a robot. Jack Roboc. You know what, I'll just say AI, it wasn't AI, but so it's a Terminator, I'm a real lot. Now what was it called? I can't remember. It was a little boy who turned out as a robot. Jack robot. You know what?
Starting point is 00:57:46 I'll just say AI. It wasn't AI. But so it's a terminator, Robocop AI, Robosapian, small wonder, who am I leading as? By Centennial. By Centennial. Look, any robot that's ever been in a movie is going to be in this and it's going to be called Robots 2. There's the sequel to the movie Robots.
Starting point is 00:58:03 The hilarious cast from the trans morpher's movies Yeah, and the transformers movies guys and the morphers are not gonna get along with each other. Oh, no Hey, what about rata 2e and rata 2-3. Oh, those are both good. Oh, you're playing too. Well, I play in the game What about you Stewart? Uh wait what? It was in a mirrors world all the time So mirrors to that movie doesn't exist. I assume yours would be castle three uh wait what? It was in a mirrors world all the time. So mirrors too that movie doesn't exist. I think I assume years would be castle three. Yeah, you are right because it turns out out of the family's the second castle freak movie.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Uh, head of the formally would be the fourth one of those. Okay, no that's good. So we should just quickly get into our movie recommendation. The invisible to me, right? No, I don't know. I said invisible maniac too, invisible boogaloo. Yeah, wait, why was it Tomb Raider? Tomb Raider. Because that would be stupid. OK. Because this is a dumb thing.
Starting point is 00:58:56 But it works. But we're just for a while sequels didn't have numbers in them. They just would have a subtitle. And they still just like that. And they would often have the characters on the poster pointing out the number of fingers at the film. But it's weird that they decided to go back and put the numbers in but just kind of wedge them into the titles just kind of squeeze them in. Like Sherlock Holmes for instance that wasn't called Sherlock Holmes 2
Starting point is 00:59:17 the sequel. Yeah. It was like Sherlock Holmes bookish atos or something. Yeah. We they found the bookish atos. I guess it's like Sherlock Holmes attack of the clones or something. Yeah. Shock Holmes walks into a room is like some sort of Blair Witch has been there. Uh, so I didn't know that Sherlock you just got here. Well, but Matt died in the corner with his hand to on the wall. She dropped her business card on the floor. It says Blair Witch. Which I guess which is her last name? the floor. It says Blair Witch. Witch. I guess which is her last name. So whoever's name is Blair like playing the back of life. Blair Witch and she's a witch. And Blair Underwood. Yeah. Sure. He's a witch. He's bewitching. Very quickly because we're running long.
Starting point is 00:59:58 This is the part of the show where we make recommendations of movies. We saw recently that we actually enjoyed positive. These are not ironic recommendations these are positive recommendations of movies we enjoy Elliott why don't you go first for once okay I usually go last or second today I'm gonna go first it what the movie I'm gonna recommend is an Italian film from the late 40s I know you love it already called Riso Amaro which translates as bitter rice and And it is a, it's basically a thriller, but it kind of gets to the thriller part. It's a little surprising. It's almost like a film war crossed with a melodrama,
Starting point is 01:00:33 crossed with a woman in prison film, crossed with, like a neo-realist story about labor agitation. And basically, this woman is on the run from the law and becomes a migrant rice planter because apparently they have rice fields in Italy which I didn't realize about. And the criminal who she was working with Chase's after her, she gets mixed up with another woman
Starting point is 01:00:56 at the rice plantation who is seems innocent, but maybe isn't, and there's a lot of like small character work among other characters that's a lot of like small character work among other characters That's a lot of fun and I really enjoyed a lot. It's a movie I deviant off turn a classic movies on a whim and I turned out to be a lot of fun and really enjoyable So bitter rice risso amaro I'd recommend. Well you guys are gonna make fun of me for this disclaimer But next movie I'm gonna recommend is not like the Hardiest recommendation. I'm not gonna guess you saw a lot of playing Or while you were asleep.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I saw the first 10 minutes of it. I saw while I was injured and unable to leave the house to do much, so I was watching a lot of Netflix streaming. A captive audience. Oh boy. But no, it's a movie that benefits from a little bit of low expectation, but it was fun, like, shaggy comedy. I watched a good old-fashioned orgy, which has a lot of comedy folks in it.
Starting point is 01:01:49 It's got Jason Sudakas, Tyler LeBean, Lake Bell, Nick Crowell, Judy Punch, Will Forte. Like it's a... Judy Punch is a great name. But what I appreciated is... It's like Punch and Judy. Thanks. Thanks for explaining the joke. It's about a bunch of guys. Thanks, thanks a lot. You know what I'm saying? Thanks for explaining the joke. It's about a bunch of friends who have this house,
Starting point is 01:02:08 this vacation house, and they're gonna lose the vacation house, and they're used to having these big blowout parties there. And they're like, what Jason Sudeik is like, I need a great premise for the last party that we have here. And because they're growing sort of like older, like he has this like idea like this is our last like youthful thing what we're gonna have is we're gonna have a good old fashion orgy and um so by old-fashioned I mean like a Roman orgy I don't know but he didn't actually
Starting point is 01:02:35 watch the moon he read about it though and it was great what I sort of enjoyed it just looked up old-fashioned he looked up old orgy on Google a game. I told you were running late and you're dragging it out. Hey, you're the boss keep going What I liked about this movie was that it a lot of these movies where they have this kind of like racy premise At the end of the movie they like I feel like there's this need to introduce Morality into this and they're like, oh you know what this isn't a good idea. We're gonna we're not gonna do this thing. We're gonna reinforce like the most traditional like Hollywood. Yeah and this movie
Starting point is 01:03:14 makes a faint in that direction and it's not but it's not spoiling anything to say that they actually go ahead and have the orgy at the end of it. I sort of appreciated that. You don't see that in a movie, and I mean, I liked that it- You can see it in a movie pretty easily these days. The internet is rings orgy movies to your fingertips. And there's a couple of stores on Thursday where I'm gonna introduce you to.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I just like to tell you what it means. For a big, say the one man's engine. Like, for a straight-up name. For a straight-up name. For a straight-up name. For a straight-up name. For a straight-up name. I appreciated that it win that direction. So I'm going to reach back into my past recommendations, because we're running short on time. I don't actually want to think of something.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Why would you? And I, I, I would you, and I'm going to recommend a flopp house, Fave split second story, record, how, okay Okay. And he was making a far future boy.

Starting point is 01:04:34 And Kim Ketrol is naked in it. And yeah, it's great. What else do you need? And would you look? You got chocolate problems. You got alien killers. You got Kim Ketrol. I would say that the predator two of alien ripoffs
Starting point is 01:04:48 So I don't even know if that's fate praise or what I don't know what description that is. Oh, man. It's great Okay, so I mean predators in alien ripoff. I'm recommending Predator to Electric Bougaloo. All right. Well, this has been a delight guys it's been called preditude despite the two hours we spent watching that's my boy that was not a delight but hey I love spending time with you guys and I love spending it with our new listeners and our old listeners reminds me of a song no no no it feels like it's been for ever since I've seen you guys right so for the flop house I've
Starting point is 01:05:22 been damn cool boy young and stored well. I'm maybe you Elliott sign off. Oh, I'm Elliott Kaelin I'm out of the world And he had his testicles outside of his his leotard and the character was called Dr. Nuts and he was like kind of like a crazy guy and he was like a like a comical leaf type, but in like a major like a major wrestling match his doctor nuts would get killed by somebody and then he would come back as like a dark version of him and nobody would know him because he's got a mask and he was then called wrecking balls.
Starting point is 01:06:14 So you think but he would still have his testicles outside of his leotard. Yeah, that's how you would know it actually. So really his mysterious wrestler it would be pretty open. Yeah, the announcers would be like is that but a minute, we haven't seen balls like that since. But he was killed in the ring!
